Chhalaang Movie Review is all about a PT teacher who faces tough competition with a new coach and must prepare himself otherwise lose his job, self-respect and love. Mahinder Singh or Montu played by Rajkummar Rao is a carefree man. He roams around with his much older Masterji played by Saurabh Shukla and wakes up when the sun is already on the head. He does not have any purpose in life.
Unfortunately, the daughter of the couple Neelima or Neelu played by Nushrratt Bharuccha becomes the new computer teacher in the same school where Montu is the PT instructor. Montu has an instant crush on her while Neelima is very angry with him. Then like all Bollywood films we see that their hatred slowly converts into love.
He declares an all-sports competition against Singh which puts to test his ability to teach. The sporting action and conflict start from this point in the movie. The writers of Chhalaang including Luv Ranjan, Zeishan Quadri and Aseem Arrora do not take any leap of faith to make this movie a heart-pumping sporting film.
Some of the areas which show the application of practical situations for giving physical training are effectively shown and quite new. However, as we do not know much about the history of players we cannot root for them well. The characters are not shown very well especially the children and more focus is laid on gender equality and women empowerment which looks forced.
Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub fits in his role perfectly with a moustache and athletic sports teacher. Nushrratt Bharuccha is performing well with every film and is looking beautiful in the role. Bharuccha’s character as a new age girl is always the voice of reason in the film. The character artists breathe realism in the film and give a much needed comic relief to it.
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta does a lot of detailing with the setting. However, the conviction in execution and writing could have made this movie a lot better than it is. We have compiled Chhalaang Ratings from various sources to help you decide on watching the film.
The perfact cast and superb storyline makes movie enjoyable in every bit.
